Benefits of Artificial Grass

Artificial grass is an investment because you no longer need to spend time and money on lawn maintenance. For families with children, the artificial turf feels wonderfully soft and provides a safe flooring solution for play areas. For dog owners, the fake grass will not get muddy or wear out. For people with allergies such as hay fever, artificial grass will help to prevent any irritation.

There are very few disadvantages of synthetic turf. A common argument is lack of realism, which is often seen in low quality fake grass. Royal Grass® provides synthetic grass of the highest quality and is hardly distinguishable from natural grass. Royal Grass® is the only supplier of artificial grass to use V-shape® and Micro Nerve Technology (MiNT®). These features allow us to imitate all the visual characteristics in a blade of natural grass.

What should you know before buying synthetic grass?

Buying synthetic grass is a long-term investment. To help you enjoy a beautiful lawn for many years, it’s worthwhile considering the details below before making your final choice.

Look for quality

Quality artificial turf

You can determine the quality of artificial grass by requesting free product samples. Look for a realistic appearance, a soft texture and a strong backing for durability. Since 2003, Royal Grass® has manufactured top quality artificial turf for the gardens, playgrounds and public areas. The shape of a V that you see in natural blades of grass is imitated by our products. This makes our artificial grass very strong, ensuring the fibres stay upright after being walked on. Unlike cheap artificial grass that can have a reflective glare in bright sunlight, Micro Nerve Technology (MiNT®) gives our products a natural colour with a gentle shine.

Ask about safety

Is Royal Grass® safe?

All Royal Grass® products have been comprehensively tested according to the strict European safety standard. This is the same standard that applies to children’s toys and all the components used in the manufacture of our synthetic turf complies with this standard.

Lawn maintenance

Maintaining your artificial lawn

An artificial lawn requires very little maintenance in comparison to natural grass. Although it is important to keep the lawn clean so you should occasionally rake up leaves and remove any large pieces of dirt such as animal faeces. View our page on artificial turf maintenance for more information.

Artificial turf with or without sand?

For decorative lawns, there are two types of artificial turf available.

Artificial lawns without thatch (curly fibres weaved under the blades of grass) require a sand infill to support the synthetic blades of grass in preventing them from falling flat. Alternatively, an artificial lawn with thatch does not require a sand infill because the synthetic blades of grass will naturally remain upright. Royal Grass® offer both types of artificial grass because each has its own advantages.

Artificial grass with thatch

Thatch (curly strands weaved under the blades of grass) is one of the latest product developments for imitation grass. The straight blades of artificial grass are supported upright at their base by the thatch. It can be said that these curled strands imitate nature as they are very realistic and pleasant to touch.

There are two advantages to thatch. Firstly, it gives an extra shade of colour to your lawn as thatch is light beige or dark brown, which looks great under the green grass. Secondly the installation of artificial grass with thatch is easier because you no sand is required.

Artificial grass without thatch

Artificial grass without thatch requires silica sand to be applied after installation. This increases the weight of the grass carpet in order to keep it stable and prevent creases. Additionally, the sand supports the synthetic blades of grass to prevent them from falling flat. The sand also gives the artificial turf an even more natural appearance.

Sand infill is ideal for intensive use such as for ball games or in playgrounds.
